I didn't want to revert your revert, but I think this article needs to go back at least one more version. I'm sure that my memory is inflating the number, but I seem to recall reading millions upon millions of articles on stakeholder theory in business school - in any case, certainly more than one. |

:I'm afraid I couldn't find the edit you are referring to. Could you point it out for me? [[User:LeaveSleaves|LeaveSleaves]] ([[User talk:LeaveSleaves#top|talk]]) 03:39, 2 October 2008 (UTC) |
|||
==ICFAI== |
|||
I am referring to the [[ICFAI]] entry.Dont you think the section "Criticism on ICFAI" is self defeating as it just talks about Tuition Fee related issues while at the same time quoting the ICFAI University Rule book,thus proving that there is no controversy. |
|||
If the University makes and clearly states a rule,and accordingly goes by that rule book..how does that constitute to a violation of anything!!! |
|||
I removed it as I felt is only gives a overall negative impression while sensationalizing some thing thats clearly doesn't merit deserve that kind of treatment. |
|||
Anyways..guess you are superuser or whatever so u get to rule wikipedia I guess...so i get a message saying i vandalised it....Silly!! |
|||

== Links on True Blood == |

You wrote" Both the links that you have added on the article are not associate with HBO in anyway. Please do not add them again." |

You really need to do your research better. For example, Bloodcopy.com is the biggest viral site created by HBO for the series. Also, The True-blood.tv site is hosting HBO sanctioned give-aways from HBO each week. --[[Special:Contributions/72.49.126.196|72.49.126.196]] ([[User talk:72.49.126.196|talk]]) 22:32, 2 October 2008 (UTC) |

::Don't you think it's notable that the .tv site was the only one giving away Tru Blood samples, given how important that marketing was to the series all summer? --[[Special:Contributions/72.49.126.196|72.49.126.196]] ([[User talk:72.49.126.196|talk]]) 10:02, 3 October 2008 (UTC) |

:::Well, considering they are not associated with HBO, I don't see how that can be considered as valid marketing of the series. [[User:LeaveSleaves|LeaveSleaves]] ([[User talk:LeaveSleaves#top|talk]]) 12:01, 3 October 2008 (UTC) |

Revision as of 12:40, 13 October 2008
Phyllis Brooks (July 18, 1915 – August 1, 1995) was an American actress and model. Brooks was born Phyllis Seiler in Boise, Idaho on July 18, 1915. She began her career in films at age 20, and had been known as the "Ipana Toothpaste Girl" due to her work as a model. Brooks, who had about 30 performances in films, was a B-movie leading lady during the 1930s and 1940s, with roles in such films as In Old Chicago (1937), Little Miss Broadway (1938), and the Shanghai Gesture (1941). In the late 1930s, she dated Cary Grant, who called her Brooksie, and rumors that the two would be married were circulated.[1] Brooks, something of a socialite, also dated Howard Hughes.[2] .
She was reported (UK Sunday Telegraph December 1942) as being president of Parties Unlimited Inc. in an article about Hollywood at war.
Along with fellow actress Una Merkel, and accompanied by noted actor Gary Cooper, Phyllis was the first civilian woman to travel to the Pacific Theater of War during World War II, on a USO tour. She was married to Torbert Macdonald, an 11-term Massachusetts Congressman who was John F. Kennedy's roommate at Harvard, and who remained a close friend and confidante throughout his life. She moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts with her new husband in 1945 so he could complete his Harvard Law degree. Congressman Macdonald had been a Harvard football captain and a decorated PT boat captain in World War II. He died in office in 1976.
Phyllis continued performing in summer stock theater after her marriage, and hosted the first television interview program in Boston in the early 1950s (on WBZ-TV). She retired from public performances after that, concentrating on raising her family. The couple had four children, the eldest of whom was President Kennedy's godson. She died on August 1, 1995 in Cape Neddick, Maine at the age of 80.
